This is a recent piece from one of my favorite artists, Stephane Halleux. It’s quite a bit more sinister in nature than much of his work, so it fits nicely here. All of his work is meticulously crafted and reflects his interest in comics. His leather clad creations are often more whimsical than dark, but they all seem to share the feeling of man and machine combined. See more at www.stephanehalleux.com (helps if you read french).

Internal Combustion #2-Bone Machine

Trilo Temporalis

Using found objects and welded steel, Jud Turner fabricates intricately detailed biomechanical sculptures. His stylized sculpture marries the fluidity of organic life with the precision of a machine.

“Using welded steel and found objects, I create artwork which embraces opposites — the tension between humans and nature; the perils of balancing biology and technology; or the combination of ancient fossils with modern machinery. “
